Nwn server list fix!

[BALLS OF STEEL]

As some of you may be aware, the nwn server list is no longer in support as gamespy has been bought by another company which has decided to close the matchmaking service down.

You can still join servers through direct connect, favourites and your history list, however there will be no server browser.

I have made a short guide to sidestep this problem and get the server browser back.

Step 1 - download and install XFIRE

Step 2 - there is no step 2.

Addendum : neverwinterconnections.com/ is undergoing rennovations and may soon be a working alternative to my fix.

Without Gamespy, a few ports can be closed; since there is no server to post our module's info to... (These are the ports no longer needed: 6500, 6667, 13139, 27900, 28900, 29900, and 29901)

I beleive someone said something about Chat still working? If so we could always post the server IP there for people to direct connect.

this may help.

Seems my trick with notepad to bypass the master server is needed here. A clever fix around as well, to get the PC to redirect the hardcoded server address it speaks to.

(At least until you have to alter the executables, then you need his patch)
